No, it’s also the fact that an organization feeling awful about the product on the field this season is now equally ashamed of the story off it. And because they are proud professionals in a public field, it hurt to go to work Monday and talk about someone they thought they knew.

“It’s not a good situation; it wasn’t something you expect,” Gase said. “Things happen sometimes that you don't anticipate. You have to deal with it. It’s not fun, especially when you’re close to somebody. But you have to take the next step and move on.”

Gase talked with Foerster on Sunday night after being alerted by general manager Chris Grier about the video. On Monday, Gase took Foerster’s no-doubt forced resignation.

Here's 5 things you may not have known about ex-Dolphins line coach Chris Foerster, who resigned after Kijuana Nige posted a video showing him snorting a white powdery substance.

Gase looked more embarrassed than angry. There are tangled questions to sort through for him, no doubt. How could he hire someone with such loud personal problems? Should he have known something was amiss in a top assistant?

Did it impact the team?

Would it still affect the team?

“It’s the NFL, man,” Gase said of the final question. “It’s a league of distractions. Move on.”

Somewhere in here it needs to be underlined that Foester needs help. The players he worked with will in some form, too. They’re people, not cyborgs. And somewhere in sorting out all this the Dolphins have to ask themselves a larger question about why they remain at the center of bizarre national stories.

Just look at recent times. Linebacker Lawrence Timmons went AWOL the day before the opener. Laremy Tunsil was drafted after being filmed with a gas mask to smoke marijuana. On a more local level, a reserve tackle, Leon Orr, was arrested on a day off last year (and cut immediately). Now there’s Foerster snorting what appears to be cocaine before a meeting.

This isn’t even dredging up previous Dolphins regimes’ mistakes, from the mushroom cloud of Bullygate to details like the previous offensive line coach, Jim Turner, giving an inflatable doll to a player.

Disparate news from any team? Or reflections of some larger character issue being missed?

Such things don’t happen regularly with the Patriots or Packers or other championship organizations. They happen, sure, as the Patriots had Aaron Hernandez being convicted of murder and later committing suicide. But not year-after-year incidents like we see at organizations like the Dallas Cowboys, who haven’t won anything in decades either.

Gase came in with the central mindset of changing the culture within the Dolphins. He appeared on the way, too, with roster decisions and inflicted ideas through a winning first year.

Then this season happened, with Timmons’ departure and Foerster’s video standing as the reasons the Dolphins have made national headlines. For those inside the team, there was disconnect between the Foerster they knew and the one that surfaced on that video. But this is so weird that even HBO’s “Ballers” show wouldn’t consider this realistic.

“Since I've been around him, he's always been a guy who put his head down and worked,” Gase said of Foerster. “He was here at 4 in the morning, worked as hard as he could for us. It is what it is.”
